Is it normal to hate living with your parents?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes—living with your parents can feel frustrating, even if you love them. Wanting more privacy or independence doesn’t make you a bad child or mean you don’t care about them.

Totally understandable. Sharing a home can bring out conflicts over privacy, chores, routines, and who gets to make decisions—especially when you’re craving more independence. Sometimes “I hate living here” is really “I need more space and control over my own life.”

People vary: some enjoy living with family, while others find it tense or exhausting. The feeling itself is common; what matters is whether the situation is basically ordinary friction or whether you’re being mistreated or feel unsafe. If it’s mostly everyday clashes, a calm conversation about specific boundaries or a plan for more independence may help.
